What it does

Healthchecks.io monitors your cron jobs, background services and scheduled tasks. It notifies you when your nightly backup has not completed, your Raspberry Pi has lost connection, or a checkout flow on your shopping site has not completed for too long.

Get instant alerts when your cron jobs, background workers, scheduled tasks don

We notify you when your nightly backups, weekly reports, cron jobs, and scheduled tasks don't run on time. On Healthchecks.io, generate a unique ping URL for your background job. Update your job to send an HTTP request to the ping URL every time the job runs. When your job does not ping Healthchecks.io on time, Healthchecks.io alerts you! A list of your checks, one for each Cron job, daemon or scheduled task you want to monitor. Give names and assign tags to your checks to easily recognize them later. Adjust Period and Grace time to match the periodicity and duration of your tasks. Alternatively, you can define the expected ping dates and times using a cron expression.

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself.
